It depends on the type of graft. A free gingival graft has had initial healing after 7 – 10 days, a connective tissue graft needs 3 – 4 weeks, and a donor tissue graft needs 6 – 8 weeks. The initial soreness should only last 1 – 2 weeks for any type of graft and you should not use an electric brush or irrigator on any type of grafting for at least 6 weeks.
Everyone heals at a different rate. Different gum procedures can be more involved than others. Your periodontist can give you the best advice
It depends on the type of gum grafting, you are looking at 4 - 8 weeks
